Winter

winter some may say is

dark gloomy the season cold

wet and dark

not so say i, is a season of

rest renewal

a time nececery for plants to rest

sleep and recoupe

roots, seeds lay dormant

insulated deep neath

a blanket of snow

ready to burst fourth in

the magnificent spring show

mountains to, cradel a snowy nest

ready for the early melt

filling rivers lakes resiviors

giving waters… Continue

The End of Times (a Poetic Work)

Some months ago, my dear sister Fee gave me homework to do. It was not easy at all. Here I reproduce what she told me to do: "Write a poem made of stanzas that are composed of four lines each. The first three lines of the stanza will have eleven syllables each, and the fourth line of the stanza will be only five syllables long. The poem should be about rain, goosebumps on the flesh, and love but you cannot…

Poem: Heavenly Invitation

Written down is God's Word;

we are encouraged to be heavenly, joint heirs.

So examine His Word for Truth's proof,

for His wish is that 'we join Him there'.



Jehovah first gave of Himself,

breathing Life into Man's creation.

Now He is waiting patiently...

And anticipating a grand celebration.



Final merging of the family tree

are earthly souls and angelic beings;

hear the chorus of praise resound

from all of us eternally… Continue

Poem: Sunday Soldier

At the end of yet another week,

weary soldiers are huddled behind church doors,

reminiscing about the recent past with outlook bleak -

Not knowing that Life can offer so much more.



Military plans for Earth's invasion

are held by the Kingdom priests,

trying to comprehend the message of scriptural persuasion

for bringing captive lives to Godly release.



Between berating and war counsel cries,

there are mixed signals being… Continue

Can No One Hear Me Scream

Oh what woe

What sorrow

What a lark

What fun

But no one understands as this smile hides my face

Why can’t someone see past the persona

Why cant anyone here me crying in the darkness

Screaming my sorrows into the night

I’m sick and tired of playing the fool

Playing happy

WHAT A MASK I WEAR

Non of you see … you never have

From the oldest to the newest friend

But all those who think they know me need to learn

They need to… Continue

Do you like me now?

Do you like me now? soon you may not for i do not ask you to like me.

This world of endless depravities, debouched minds, bounders and cads.

Whores and harlots lifting petticoats of virgin white, yet unholy creatures as they have long since forfeited the privilege of such a colour since before they remember.

Who do we warrant our souls with in terms of our commitment and gratitude?

God! uttered so favourably from the wet lips of so many sinners. Protestant and Catholic… Continue

Love

show me heaven in a heartbeat,

my chest pounds with what is love.

An unmistakable rhyme and rhythm.

Listless and restless in its pursuit of ultimate satisfaction,

and i have found it.

I have found that of which poets write and singers sing,

Lyrical and written,

carved into the fabric of every being.

It is love

and love is moving and strong.

Love is power and passion.

Love is a psychopath.

I shall hold on to love.

I shall keep it… Continue

Blue Skys and Purple Rain

Maybe for trouble ill take the long road.

To pass orphans seated on blood red thrones

and parents on leashes knelt by there heels,

the purple rains of dread do largely appeal.

Where has the closeted goodness gone?

Where is the spirit of lead lined crystal?

Its protect but lost!

Safe but forgotten is useless under the blue sky

with its purple rains.

I’ll wade through the shallow pool of honest tears,

away from the sea of fake ones.

The… Continue

Winter was hard

Winter has hard on me

wandering along the

frosted pathway

collecting pieces of ice

shards of cold air ionized

in translucent opaque quartzs

ghostly multi-layers of life

fused from a nascient existence.

gnawing, fleeting mortality

A lift of cold air

Slavery by What Other Name?

(photo of a chain gang in Thomasville, Georgia, 1898, by Carl Weiss)









Ask any student of American history what year the enslavement of African Americans ended in the United States and she or he will answer with cheerful confidence, “1865” (even though President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, the constitutional amendments that made it a nationally inclusive law came later).



Ask that… Continue

I would like to invite everyone to come check out my Free short story Propositioned. You will love Kristina and Robert's story.



Blurb:

Kristina Ward is looking for a fresh start. She has just gotten out of a relationship with a married man who also had children. She would have never guess a woman as intelligent as her would miss the warning signs of his deception. But she had. There was nothing like a heartbreak to make a woman reevaluate her life. Too bad… Continue
